Description

The United States national baseball team represents the United States in international-level baseball competitions. The team is currently ranked 2nd in the world by the World Baseball Softball Confederation. Team USA won the Olympic baseball tournament in 2000, and the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in 2017.

The United States was an inaugural member of the World Baseball Classic, making its debut in the first edition. In their first three appearances in the WBC, the best finish for the Americans was fourth place in 2009. Finally in 2017, a new team managed by Jim Leyland, and led by the likes of Adam Jones, Marcus Stroman, and Eric Hosmer, won the tournament. The U.S. beat Japan in the semifinals, and topped previously undefeated Puerto Rico in the final by an 8-0 score to win the WBC title for the first time.

Team USA came in fourth in the 12-team 2019 WBSC Premier12 Tournament, in November 2019, missing out on its first opportunity to qualify for the 2020 Olympics. It then qualified by winning the eight-team Americas Qualifying Event on May 31 through June 5, 2021, in Port St. Lucie and West Palm Beach, Florida.
